South Bend solar is split between Indiana Michigan Power and NIPSCO net-metering. Both honor retail rates for residential systems. Indiana's 4.2 peak sun hour resource plus federal ITC delivers 10–14 year payback on an 8–12 kW array. Permits via South Bend Building Department; interconnection 4–6 weeks.
